[Cob] Soundproofing on a traditionally built wall

[Amanda Peck]

Probably iffy.

Not an expert on acoustics, but low frequencies are fairly 
non-directional-why you only need one sub-woofer in a speaker array--so they 
might go around and up through the floor about as easily as they go through 
a wall.

Then there's the possiblity of the owner's association being happy about you 
bringing in a ton of mud. (and how well the buildings were built in the 
first place--there's a notorious building in Nashville that I think got 
itself stabilized, but for the framers, the great trick was to jump on one 
edge of the third story, feel the whole structure move an inch or so west, 
go to the opposite side, move it back east.  The people putting brick up 
around it weren't happy.)

try styrofoam first?  call it artwork?  Some sort of straw board?

MY mind could be changed, I'd be happy to hear others on this!

this problem. Any suggestions, resources? I own my condo. lulu
